M.Sc. Dott. Danilo Gullotto

Biological scientist

Experiences:

• Bioinformatics
• Molecular Modelling
• Clinical Microbiology Lab (infectious diseases)

Brief description:

At present Danilo is involved in Structural Genomics/Proteomics research field. He was the author of mathematical methods which are narrowed towards secondary and tertiary structure prediction and remote homologues detection of both globular and transmembrane proteins from scratch. Moreover, he has been studying new evolutionary pathways to unscramble proteomic and genomic code since September 2007. Finally, he is interested in identifying supramolecular structural determinants modulating the redox potential Eº of metallo-enzymes.
